The British singer had been shacked up with Radio 1 DJ Greg James, who apparently started moaning that she had too much stuff.
According to The Mirror, the Starry Eyed singer has now decided to buy her own flat to give them both a bit of space.
Just last month rumours circulated that the pair had called it a day after Ellie, 24, changed her relationship status on Facebook. But a source insisted that they are still very much an item.
“They’re doing what’s best for them, and they’re happy to have their own places at the moment,” said the insider. “They’re definitely still together.”
